Abbreviation: CanCSgrp

Definition

A cancellative commutative semigroup is a commutative semigroup S = (S,·) such that · is cancellative:   x·z = y·z  ⇒  x = y.

Morphisms

Let S and T be cancellative commutative semigroups. A morphism from S to T is a function h : ST that is a homomorphism: h(xy) = h(x)h(y).

Some results

Examples

(N, + ), the natural numbers, with additition.
